Lightweight wheels
Are there any other wheels in the weight range of SSR Competitions in an 18 inch? (Maybe 18x8.5 F, 18x9.5 or 10 R) They're like 17 pounds. What else is under 20?

What's wrong with Competitions?
The SSR GT-2, GT-7, and Comps are all under 20 lbs in those sizes. Volks 1-piece forged wheels are also as Max pointed out. In the more budget range, there are the 5zigen FN-01RC and the Sparco N1 (I think that's right). The SSRs are probably the best value at under $500/wheel.

in 18x10 the wheels under 20lbs I know of are:
Buddy Club P1QF (16lbs)
Nismo LM GT Magnesium (17lbs)
Wed's TC 005 (19lbs)
and BBS RC (19.5)
The SSR Competitions are almost as light as you're going to get in a 18x8, though the Team Dynamics Visage and the OZ Superleggeras are both 17.5lbs for that size.
At 18x8.5, the Volk TE37's clock in at only 13lbs. And the Mazdaspeed MS-01 are 16.5 lbs.
Now the question as to which of these fit your bolt pattern...well, that I didn't check.

Just curious, where is the cheapest place to get CCW and also the SSR competition, other than tirerack, because I do not think they sell any larger than 18x9.5.

SSR doesn't make Competitions in integer widths, only X.5" widths. They do make a 10.5 but I don't know what offsets are available and no, it is not sold by Tire Rack (Japan market only). I think worrying about 285/30 vs 265/35 or 275/35, which fit well on a 9.5", is silly though.

I was wanting to get the 10.5 SSR Comp. But could not find anyone here that sells them. Hate to have to order from Japan. Probably take a while, I am going to check CCW website out for their rims.
Thanks again Rynberg...

I just looked at all the CCW 1 piece forged aluminum and they were all 19's. The modular were 17 or 18's. But the modular doesnt look all that great or at least to me.

well, form follows function for me... I love the CCW's for their modular look but also their light weight. I dunno why you wouldnt just run 17's, the wheels will be a bit lighter and les expensive not to mention that the tires will be a bit cheaper, so in the end you have some cashola for other mods or a trackschool or you could afford to run better tires than you would be able to on 18's. nothing like running Yokohama Advan AO32R's on the street
oh man, a Volk TE37 in 18x8.5 only weighs 13 pounnds?!?! well holy ****!
